THE COMING BOOM.
land.

Like an eagle on his mountain home
slowly spreading his wings for flight in
the CLUBS; like magnificent steed stamp
ing the ground with flashing eye and ex-
tended nostrils eager for the race; like a
disciplined army with set bayonets in battle
array restlessly waiting for the bugles to
sound the charge, is Wichita haltiug to-
day at the beginning of boom that will
eclipse even her former achievements. Tn.
numbered presses may continue their hypo-
coutical warnings and ISLANDERS. Men at
home may demand slower and steadier
growth, and cry aloud for halt, but their
voices will be silenced In the din and roar
of the forces here centered to make the
grandest city In the west. The conditions
are favorable for an unprecedented growth.
The commanders have their forces well In
hand and can not be taken by surprise. but
all parties confess their inability to prevent
boom of vast proportions. Already men
who have built hundreds and hundreds of
houses with which to supply the demand
when the fall boom should commence, are
making apologies for not having houses to
supply the demand, by saying nobody
thought emigration would keep right
along through the heated term. Wichita
capitalists in shady resorts in California, in
the Rocky Mountains, by the lakes of the
north, and on the Hudson, are not allowed
to rest, but daily movements here are tele-
graphed, or they are asked to price Ger
tain piece of property. Daily men are
heard TO eXclaim where is that man or
this one, whom the enquirer supposes to
be interested in his particular part of the
city. An hundred times a day are the
EAGLE staff asked: Why don't Marsh
Murdoch come home? Hundreds of men
who went away from their homes will be
drawn hither with the incoming crowds
long before the cool days of September, all
like the people now here with
he firm belief that great things are going |
to happen for Wichita's good. After the
boom of last winter the peo-
pie of this city settled down to firm faith |
in Wichitas future greatness; but now
without any effort from any source there
is an enthusiasm pervading our people and
the strangers within our gates that portends
coming events fraught with magnificent
pc satellites for this winning wonder of the
west. There is faith in the future, be.
lief that the tide is now here which taken
1t the flood leads on to fortune"
Men who have been in the great west for
4 time; men who have seen new countries
developed, and great cities arise know
what this all means. They know that it |
means boom and development that will
lstound those who are not acquainted with |
he possibilities of this great southwest |

Judge Harlan, says the Lawrence Jour.
nal, OF the United States supreme court,
has decided that by the federal election
laws the statutes of each state become 3
part of such laws as to any election in
which member of congress is voted for.
Therefore, when the judges or other of.
ficers of sn election of any kind violate
any state law they may be held to answer
In the federal courts, even though their
action may not effect the result so far as
the congressman is concerned

"What are we here for?" asks Flanagan

tones: For the offices Beacon.

office particularly attractive at this time, is
the one which Mr.. Cleveland bears"

Office would well become James G, Blaine

some two miles west of Tonganoxie, Leav-

what they supposed to be hard rock about
twenty feet below the surface of the ground
